What is an IP Address? An IP Address is a unique address given to a PC when it makes a connection to the internet. When your PC is connected to the internet, its IP Address is basically its virtual Social Security Number. No other computer on the net will have the same one. So how can this be helpful to moderators and presenters?

When attendees are in your room and being disruptive, disturbing, or spamming, you can use this information to help put a permanent block on them. Most cable, DSL, and broadband modems assign a single IP to a user for weeks and sometimes months at a time. By blocking this persons IP address you can rest assured they wont be able to access your room again for some time. So here is how to get an attendees IP Address: simply click the icon located next to Participants. This will bring up a list of all of your users and their corresponding IP Addresses.
